THE VOYAGE OF THE LENA, 
365 
the pilot celebrated the receipt of the large sum of money by 
getting thoroughly intoxicated, and while in that state he broke 
one of the bones of the fore-arm. He was thus unable ever to 
reach the appointed rendezvous, and Johannesen was allowed to 
manage by his own hand, as best he could, his little steamer. 
THE STEAMER “LENA. ’ 
After the Lena had parted with the Vega during the night 
between the 27th and 28th August, she steamed towards land, 
and came the same day to the northernmost cape of the Lena 
delta, situated in 73° 47" N.L.^ It was here that the pilot’s 
landmark was to have been erected, but there was no pilot here, 
^ According to Jolianneseii’s determination. On WrangePs map tbe 
latitude of this cape is given as TS'" 30'. Johannesen found the longitude 
to be 125° 31' instead of 127°.
